This full-day excursion starts early in the morning, after a hearty breakfast at the Rafting center RT.
The recommended departure time is 7:00 AM.
We travel in our vehicles to the starting point of this exciting adventure -the ascent to the top of Maglić.
After approximately 90 minutes of driving, we arrive at the starting point of the ascent -Lokva Dernečište (1650m above sea level).
Our challenging but rewarding adventure begins from this point towards the summit of Maglić, which takes around 3 hours of hiking depending on the size and readiness of the group.
The distance we need to cover is approximately 5km. The trail is secured with ropes in several places.
After conquering the highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina and taking a break, we continue to the beautiful Trnovačko lake.
The lake, with crystal clear water in the shape of a heart, is located at 1517m above sea level. The distance from the summit is approximately 6km, and it takes around 3 hours to cross this distance.
The bravest can take a swim in the lake with its beautiful, transparent water. After a break and refreshment with a lunch package, we continue towards Prijevor.
The distance is around 5.5km, and the time needed to cross this path is around 90 minutes.
From Prijevor and one more short break, we continue on a dirt road to Dernečište, where a vehicle awaits us to return us to our Rafting center RT.

Hiking etiquette - important to know
Let's protect nature, we don't have another one…
During your hiking trips, you will have the opportunity to encounter other hikers, and it's important to know the rules and unwritten codes of behavior.
Hiking trails are often narrow and require passing or turning back.
- Hikers going uphill have the right of way over those going downhill.
- It's polite to greet other hikers, and those going uphill should greet those going downhill as a symbolic gesture of respect for their accomplishment.
- Don't litter; collect all waste in a bag and take it with you to a trash can in the valley or a designated disposal site.
- Be quiet; don't shout, play loud music, or disturb others.
- If you build a fire, never do it in the forest. Always surround the fire with stones and make sure to extinguish it before you leave.
- Don't pick flowers just to bring them home to wilt. Use your camera to capture the beauty of nature forever.
- Adjust the pace of the hike to the slowest person in the group.
- Hiking is not a competition; stronger hikers should help weaker ones.
- If you encounter damaged signs, markers, or trails, repair them if you can.
- If locals offer you help and food, show your gratitude in return.
- In the event of an emergency, do what you can to help with rescue efforts.
- Never leave anyone alone on the mountain.
- Always exchange information with other hikers about your planned route and plans. This information is vital in the event of accidents in the mountains.
Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories, kill nothing but time…

For those who want faster, more exciting rafting, we recommend choosing the months of April, May, and early June.
For those who want a calmer rafting experience or come with children, choose July, August, and September.
For those who want to visit us with children, we recommend choosing so-called working days, from Sunday to Friday. Prices on working days are more favorable and there are fewer crowds.
Prices are most favorable at the beginning of the season, on working days, as well as for early reservations. If you know the date of your annual vacation in advance, reserve your spot in advance at a more favorable price.
On weekends, i.e. Fridays and Saturdays, we organize live music, and from May 14, 2023, we will have live music 5 evenings a week. Music on weekends is until 2am, and on other days until 1am.
It is possible to reschedule or cancel your reservation and we will offer you a new date if you contact us no later than 2 weeks before the planned arrival date.
Rain or bad weather are not valid reasons for cancellation. We have all the necessary equipment for rafting in bad weather, and our bungalows, as well as the restaurant, have heating. If you are not sure, choose summer months such as July and August when rains are rare and short-lived.
Food at the RT rafting center is traditional, homemade, caloric, mostly based on meat. If you are on a special diet, vegetarian, vegan, etc., please let us know when making a reservation... We have a great selection of dishes and we will be happy to accommodate you.
Due to heavy traffic on the road from the RT center to the starting point of rafting and on the river itself, rafting can be organized in two groups - after breakfast and after lunch. If you have a desire to be in, for example, the first group, please let us know when making a reservation, we will be happy to accommodate you.
If you want to go on an excursion in addition to rafting, for example, a visit to the Sutjeska National Park, choose package deals that already include rafting and a specific excursion. Reserve package deals in advance. Of course, you can decide on any excursion on the spot, but in that case, the price is higher. Package deals are reserved in advance and are always more favorable.
If you decide to go on one of our excursions or package deals, we recommend rotating the program, i.e., for better organization of your time, we will organize excursions on the first day (most excursions are full-day and last longer than rafting itself), and leave rafting for the second day.
Please read the description of our accommodation - STANDARD, COMFORT, SUPERIOR.
Comfort accommodation is located in bungalows and rooms. There are no differences between rooms and bungalows, the equipment and price are the same. Some guests prefer bungalows more, some rooms. If you have special wishes or prefer, for example, to be in rooms, please let us know when making a reservation. Depending on the capacity, we will be happy to accommodate you.
The RT center has two pools that are available only to our guests. The use of the pool is included in some packages and not in others. We have made an effort to clearly highlight which packages include pool use. Those who do not have the use of the pool included in the price of the package can buy a bracelet at the reception. The bracelet costs 5€ and is valid for the entire stay.

BECAUSE:
Accommodation
Almost all of our bungalows have their own bathrooms, and the vast majority also have TVs, mini-bars, safes, kitchens... Although, logically, you might think that this is taken for granted, we have to point out that this is a rarity for camping accommodation in nature.
Swimming pool
Although we are located on the banks of the Drina River, we remind you that its temperature, even in August, is only 17 degrees Celsius at the most. That's why you love to seek refreshment from the high temperatures in our swimming pool. And there's also a cocktail bar for true enjoyment.
Our food
The food at RT Center is domestic, authentic food of these areas, traditional, prepared on the spot, on the same day... We bring in groceries several times a week from nearby markets and farms, grown by our farmers. If you are on a special diet, or if you are a vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian... don't worry, some of us are too. We have a great selection of dishes for you, and we know the difference between them. We have special grill plates, fryers, and cold showcases, and the ingredients are not mixed.
Entertainment
The parties at the RT center are already well-known far and wide. We always have guests looking for more. The large number of guests that RT center can accommodate contributes to a great atmosphere and young people meeting each other. And the bands - Kix band and Kosava band, are real masters of creating a great vibe. They quickly get all our guests on their feet, and many of you even on the table.
Additional activities
As part of the RT center, we have a paintball court. And the best part is that you don't have to have a group of people to play. We organize a paintball tournament every day, and all you have to do is sign up at the reception desk to participate. You can even play alone.
Our QUADS are also available
Parked in front of the RT center, our quads are available to you at any time of the day. It is important to note that they are brand new. We purchased some of the four-wheelers in 2021 and some in 2022.
Daily excursions
We organize almost all excursions every day, and you don't have to have a group to go on any of our excursions. You can even go alone. Due to the large capacity of the RT center, we always have enough guests to organize almost all excursions.
Camp hygiene
We take great care of the hygiene and cleanliness of the RT center as well as the bungalows, rooms, and restaurant. We have employees who take care of the cleanliness of the camp 24/7. We also invest a lot of time, effort, and money into the decoration of the RT center. Currently, we have more than 650 rose seedlings planted at the RT center, and every spring we have a campaign to plant seasonal flowers. Our flowerpots are adorned with over 1000 cuttings of geraniums, petunias, surfinias, begonias, tulips, peonies, and more.
Staff
We are proud of all the members and employees at the RT center. They quickly become your favorite waiters, bartenders, and especially skippers. They are warm, honest, cheerful...and quickly win you over and make you happy.
Transportation
We have guaranteed departures every day from Novi Sad and Belgrade, as well as from all major cities in Serbia.
Large camp capacity
It's always full, lively, and dynamic here. We can accommodate 380 rafting enthusiasts, and if you have a company with a large number of employees, you don't have to split them up into several camps. All your employees can stay with us. We have special pricing options for companies, the possibility of payment by invoice, and a rooftop terrace for presentations, a projector, and everything necessary for a successful presentation.
